How Driva works

Driva is a third-party car loan broker that helps buyers find and compare the best loan rates from different lenders. 
 

What sellers need to know 

  • Every vehicle listing on Trade Me includes a finance callout from Driva. This cannot be removed from your listing.
  • If a member chooses to finance through Driva, you’ll still be paid upfront & in full. If you have questions about how this process works, reach out to Driva directly.
     

What buyers need to know 

  • You can view a weekly estimate on the Trade Me listing, but you’ll need to contact Driva directly to find out what finance you’re eligible for. 
  • You must be at least 18 years old and a New Zealand resident or valid visa holder to apply.
    Checking your initial rates with Driva won't affect your credit score.

Get a weekly estimate

The estimate you see on each Trade Me listing is a guide only and is not an offer of finance. Buyers will need to discuss their individual circumstances and suitability of finance with Driva.

To get a weekly estimate, head to any vehicle listing on Trade Me and look for the Driva callout.
